I tried to email y'all but I don't know if it went through, so I'll post on here. If you get this please don't discard it, this isn't something I usually do. I just want y'all to know how your books impacted my life, and saved it at the same time. I started reading the House of Night series when I was a sophomore in high school. at first I didn't know how I was going to like it, especially because I was a HUGE Twilight fan, I didn't know if I wanted to start another vampyre series., but after the first page of Marked, I was hooked. I have been ever since, I can't get enough of the Nerd Herd. Now onto the part where it saved my life, I've battled serious depression in my life, and even went has far as attempted suicide. I was a nerd in high school, and didn't really have friends. That was until I stepped onto a stage or behind a camera. I'm a different person on screen, I've always wanted to become a professional actress and reinvent myself, a new beginning. When I was in high school I was an outcast and just wanted to run away, I did, in YOUR books. I loved being able to escape, and believe it or not, Aphrodite is who I connected with the most, yes I know the hag from hell was who I escaped to, but we had some of the same issues, family wise at least. Plus, I always wished I had the confidence to be a mean girl, on screen and stage I'm awesome as the mean girl. The night I was going to attempt suicide for the third time is the night I got my fifth House of Night book. I read it before I was going to go through with it, and something hit me, Aphrodite would NOT give up this easy, she wouldn't want to take the easy way out. She would come back from her downfalls with a bang, that's what I wanted to do. That night I decided to throw my depression out of the window, it took some time and a couple more books in the series, but I accomplished it. I got over my depression and decided I was going to make my dream of acting come true, as always my Mom got in my way, telling me I can't do it and just pulling me down. I've always pictured my first real acting job would be as Aphrodite in HofN as a movie or TV series. I've been looking and looking and NEVER found any news of a movie, I've been wanting so badly to audition for any part of the movie, just to be working on the set with the two women who helped me through my darkest time would be amazing. I'm 19 now, working full time after my depression came back and my college grades fell. I want to get back into college but before I do, I want to give my dream a shot. Please tell me it's not too late to audition for the role, for any role. I would love to just try, just try and be the girl who helped me in so many ways with so many things. I hope y'all get this, and I hope this doesn't make y'all feel anything but great. Thank you for the adventure, that I know sadly ends soon, that gave me the wonderful dreams and hopes in life. And for creating wonderful characters that became my friend's in life. -Bailee Crouch, <3
